Every time I open ACAD 2012, a folder named Autodesk is added to my Explore favorites. This happened with other versions as well. Some how, it stopped happening for a long time. Now it is back again.
View 9 RepliesNot sure if it's a bug or not but when removing a whole project the "random" folder(s) are still in the Media Storage folder. Everything connected to the project(s) are gone but not the random folder smoke creates when creating project files. Any specific reason their still in the Media Storage folder?
Im a bit of a neat-freak... After removing a whole project, is it safe to remove all the empty folders? Or would that cause problems for other projects?
Part of my daily workflow is to export a single frame of my edit for client approvals. In the export menu, is there a way to NOT have Smoke add the zeros to the end of the file name?
Also, what's the best (fastest) way to export a single frame? The way I'm doing it now is that I'm copying a segment to the the desktop then going into tools then using the repeat function. is there a better way?
I accidentally removed the Content Center folder from my favorites menu. How do I get it back?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have both 2012 and 2013 AutoCAD at work, and both versions are having the same problem. When adding favorites in Design Center, it does not show up. The shortcut is actually there if I browse using Windows Explorer, but it does not show up in Design Center. I guess this is some issue where shortcuts do not show up, which is beyond me because that is how the Favorites system is supposed to work.
I should add, this is not an issue on some of our older machines running AutoCAD 2009.
I would like to insert a wideflange steel profile into my .ipt drawing.
I thought I would use Content Center for this. However on the left model tree pane I select the 'Model' drop down menu and select 'Favorites'. 'Content Center' is listed but there are no content center components shown?
Am I using this feature correctly?
I believe my content center is installed correctly because I can 'Place from Content Center' in a new .iam file within the same project.
there is a Folder with MXF-Files on our Network that I am accessing trough the gateway. The folder contains 1600 Files. The Browser Display Options are set to Titles. Smoke needs approximately 20 Minutes to show the content of this folder. Every other software on the machine does this within one second. why that is and is there something I can do to speed it up?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Smoke just crashed and there is the possibility of loosing all my projects. I have localized some files that I want to "recover" even if they are all scrambled. The problem is that these files seem to be single frames .mov files. If I try to import them to another Smoke they will be imported as single files and there are 6000 of them. How can I tell Smoke to treat the individual .mov files as a single sequence. I renumbered the files.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe recently switched from CS2 to CS3. One of the first things I noticed was the absence of the Favorites (the ones you organize in Bridge) in the Adobe Dialog of all applications (we have the Master Collection). Is this a bug or a deleted feature compared to CS2.
Or maybe is it something you have to manually switch on and off in Bridge or somewhere else, but I cannot find it. I thought it was a nice feature in CS2 and loved working with it. So where did it go to?
This is major irritation when you have to drill down through different servers/directories all the time when saving different files. The "recent" folder does an ok job but you still have to search through the contents to find the directory you need...and isn't always there.
I'm wondering why Adobe did away with the ability to setup favorites in this dialog box. What gives? Might have seemed trivial but it's important when in a production environment as seconds matter a great deal. Any clues or suggestions?
I lost my mac os hard drive, but my data or clips are in other place, i have a backup folder of discreet folder from /usr/discreet,
i make a new install of snow leopard and smoke 2012, how to relink this projects without restore/archive method, i not archive any file from library menu, I have the discreet folder and metadata in raid disk.
Most every time I open a project I'm working on I get a Recovered Media folder in my default library. What is this media that's in this folder? Should I get rid of it or leave it?

I would like to create a junction point or relocate the /hd/var/discreet folder to another drive. It would be nice to be able to refresh this machine at moments notice. It seems that this is one of the only points that need to be kept that reside on the local HD.
I've been using PS for decades. What as always confounded me over this time is the lack of "favorites" or recently used fonts in PS. I can't believe the developers of PS havn't figured this out. It's a royal P.I.T.A to have to wade through hundreds of fonts every time.
Can we finally get this incorporated!
I'm using VS Pro X5 and have created two adjacent title clips that comprise a title for a project. I'd like to save the two title clips as one title in MyFavorites but haven't found a way to do it. Is there a process to do this or do I have to save each title clip separately in MyFavorites?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a change to my materials library. I changed the color (from dark grey to light grey) of one material. I then saved this back to my library.
Now, when I start a new part, I get a warning that the material does not match the library. So, rather than using the material in the part, I opened the template and updated the material to match the library. (Manage >Update Styles).
This is where the problems come into play. In the update styles dialog, if I compare materials against my custom materials and then compare it to my Favorites, it just a continuious circle. It is like the favorites are stored inside the part and do not get updated to match the custom materials library. (I thought the whole idea behind using a library was to get the information out of the parts).
Here is a short video showing what it does. [URL] .....
The only way I can get the favorites to match is to delete the favorite material, update the style and the add the favorite back in. That is a bunch of work. The problem I got with this is that there are thousands of parts that have been created that has this favorite in it. The only way to update these is to open each part (if I knew which one), delete the favorite, update the materials and then add the favorite back in.
I see the same thing in 2013 and 2014.

I am trying to copy big assembly with its folders from one folder to another.I cant use Copy Design because I get too long path error.
Alternative way of copying files and keeping its relationships?
I create an I part and I noticed it creates a folder within my main folder. This introduces a bit of chaos into my folder structure, is there any way around it?

If I hover over the circle while it is selected, it also treats it as a selection.
When I a have a drawing with items wich contain hyperlinks. They work perfect in autocad. Also in DWF they work great! But when I plot to PDF. The items are not clickable.
I guess this is a "problem" with the PDF plotter. Which PDF plotter CAN recognize hyperlinks and put's them on the PDF.
PDF Creator plus 5.0?
We often design on the fly, creating IAM's and IDW's for the shop to use. I began using the LOD's for memory purposes of these large assemblies. These LOD's are a copy of the View rep. Items suppress and all works well in the assembly. In the IDW's views, I've started specifying the matching LOD. This also works well, until I add a parts to the IAM that happen to be within the view rep in the IDW.
The LOD was created from a LOCKED view rep. The added items are not visible in either the view rep or the LOD of the IAM, and this is the intent of a locked view. However, they are NOT suppressed in the LOD.
Somehow, because they are not suppressed, they are now visible in the IDW view, and in any view that is project from the base view.
I have to go back to the IAM, suppress EACH of the added items in EACH and EVERY LOD in order for the IDW's I have already created remain the same.
I would think that one would also be able to LOCK a LOD and any items added would be suppressed.
can images be added to drawing without being xrefed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe currenlty have our profile loaded but when I open another drawing it changes the layout of the tools in my profile. I then have to reload the profile and all the tools come back to what we want. Why is this happening everytime I open a new/other drawing ?
my profiles are loaded via options see jpg attachment.
I was under impression that Library (custom) parts should not get checked out.
But in our case they do - It should not be happening since we have multiple users working with the same parts.
I am using a breakline to establish contours around the foundation of a building. I've done this in the past with no problems. Now I'm getting an Event Viewer, Error message saying that the breakline wasn't added to the surface because it crossed a point or crossed another breakline. In one case there wasn't another breakline in the drawing.
I've used 3d polylines & others to establish the breaklines.
